Patients waiting at the Outpatient Services entrance at Boundary Community Hospital now have a place to sit. A hummingbird metal bench has been donated by the Boundary Community Hospital Auxiliary in memory of Annie Koon with the quote: “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they have the heart.”

Following the dedication ceremony, the Hospital Auxiliary held their Holiday Raffle. There were gift certificates and baskets donated by 24 local businesses. Money raised from this event will be used to purchase items for the Hospital. The Auxiliary recently purchased a Mayo Stand to be used for general and orthopedic surgeries performed at the hospital.
